Brian Dietzen's Vision for Dr. Jimmy Palmer's End

Brian Dietzen, who has already starred in the television series “NCIS” for two decades, offers a radical and life-affirming conclusion to his character’s story. The actor, who has won many fans around the world with the role of medical examiner Dr. Jimmy Palmer, believes that the hero should bury the late disease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Such an ending, in the opinion of the actor, will attract even more attention to this terrible condition and will be truly a worthy and educational one.

There are incredible parallels in the fact that Dietzen is not just the performer of the role of Palmer but also the author of the decisions made in the script. The story of how the medical examiner will be a victim of the disease is not just a cruel turn of the plot, but also an attempt by the actor to convey the pain and understanding of the character’s daughter. It will be a shocking and life-changing experience for the viewers but also, the suffering of one of the central characters in the series will draw even more attention to the terrible disease.
